Chords

From the album Useless Trinkets [Intro] D G F C x2 [Verse]
D            G      F          C 
 Well I went walking out yesterday

D          G          F         C
 A man was carrying a sign that says

D             G     F     C
"The world is gonna end tomorrow"

F                 C
 Hey buddy, got a nickel I can borrow?
[Chorus]
G           F             C        G
This rotten world's gonna chew you up

G           F              C             D
Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

    G          Bm        F           C
The sooner you recognize this simple fact

     G           F               C        G
Then this rotten world gives you what you lack
G F C G [Verse]
D         G        F              C 
 Ol' Miss Headtrip, she's gettin' down

D          G            F              C
 You don't see her much walking 'round town

D               G            F              C
 Well you could say that she needs a little lovin'

F                            C
Looking for a light with her head in the oven
[Chorus]
G           F             C        G
This rotten world's gonna chew you up

G           F              C             D
Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

    G          Bm        F           C
The sooner you recognize this simple fact

     G           F               C        G
Then this rotten world gives you what you lack
[Bridge] G F C G G F C D G Bm F C G F C G G F C G [Verse]
D         G    F              C 
 Miss Kovaleva, she's lookin' good

D            G               F        C
 Walkin' her ass through the neighbourhood

D          G         F              C
 She knows something that you don't know

F                             C
Something she learned about a long time ago
[Chorus]
G           F             C        G
This rotten world's gonna chew you up

G           F              C             D
Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

    G          Bm        F           C
The sooner you recognize this simple fact

     G           F               C        G
Then this rotten world gives you what you lack

G           F             C        G
This rotten world's gonna chew you up

G           F              C             G
Swallow you whole and then spit you back out
[Outro] G F C G G F C D G Bm F C G F C G G F C G
